Interesting,though I’m not qualified to comment on the validity or otherwise of mathematics.Spengler claimed there was more than one possible mathematics,& that a mathematic was an expression of a culture’s soul.

I won't exclude the possibility of a diversity of expression, even in the realm of mathematics, but my point stands concerning the principles of mathematics

I suppose Guenon is against the infinite at a conceptual level? Differential calculus is formally equivalent to an algebraic theory (nonstandard analysis) if one accepts the real numbers, and a real number is just an infinite set of rational numbers (Dedekind cuts).

Not against the concept of the Infinite itself, but the common concept of the Infinite. He has a very specific conception of the Infinite (which I think is true), but his critique is only valid from his viewpoint.

Can you explain about the calculus? I don't know anything about it
-
Have you taken any classes in calculus?
-
I took calc in college but I wasn't good at it

If you're familiar with the basics then you could probably just read "the metaphysical principles of the infinitesimal calculus" by guenon, but you do need to be familiar with calculus and a bit of philosophy
